Surface NMR for Hydrogeology - A user's guide (Relié)

Surface nuclear magnetic resonance (SNMR) also known as Magnetic Resonance Sounding (MRS) is a recent, non-invasive geophysical method designed for groundwater prospecting. The method is selectively sensitive to groundwater, which is its competitive advantage. This book provides an overview of the SNMR method and a cost-benefit analysis of SNMR against other geophysical methods applied to groundwater study.
Surface NMR for Hydrogeologr A users guide is a textbook providing the basic knowledge and processing skills to those who learning geophysics or hydrogeology. With a focus on the practical applications of SNMR, the book assesses the methodology of field measurements and gives examples of real data interpretation obtained from case studies. The book also deals with some of the most pervasive problems faced by the SNMR methodology, discussing in detail forward and inverse modelling procedures, sources of electromagnetic interference, different types of electromagnetic noise, examples of real noise records, and the limitations that electromagnetic noise currently imposes on the efficiency of the SNMR method.
Based on the author's extensive teaching experience, this book is designed to acquainta wide but specialist audience of students, researchers and professionals in hydrogeology and geophysics with the SNMR method. Starting from a step-by-step description of Magnetic Resonance Sounding, the book aims to equip the reader with the theoretical and practical tools necessary for appraising and using SNMR, providing replicable examples throughout via a tutorial software package.
